How Life Works Here
Bohemia Road is located in Hastings, East Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 490 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 234 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Fire Station) is 96m away. The median property price is £135,000, with exceptional growth of 56% over five years. Based on 165 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 283m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 49 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
